This Nashville couple was looking for way to reclaim the use of their rear exterior patio from the sun, wind, and rain. The best answer was to supply and install an aluminum patio cover. An insulated cover was selected by the home owners to reduce heat during the summer and to make it easier to add a wall system later.

The beauty of the insulated cover is that it does easily allow for the screen wall system with kick plates to be added post construction. The insulated cover also allows for electrical wiring to be run in the pre-made channels for the installation of ceiling fans and lights. These covers by themselves do an excellent job of reducing heat transfer to the patio area and provide excellent shelter from the wind and rain.

Preparation is essential for a good install of the roof system. The existing rain gutters need to be removed prior to installation of the high-quality structural aluminum cover and reinstalled once they are custom fabricated to fit to the new patio cover. These covers are designed to never rust, warp, crack, rot or become damaged by insects.

These clients can look forward to many years of maintenance free enjoyment of their new patio cover. Whether you live in Middle or West Tennessee, Quinta is ready to serve your remodeling needs. We cover Memphis, Bartlett, Eads, Collierville, Southaven, Hernando, and Nesbit to the west and Columbia, Spring Hill, Thompson Station, Franklin, Brentwood, Nashville, and Hermitage to the east.

Susan’s home had damaged shingles and a couple of leaks had developed, producing stains on the ceilings of her home. The two layers of three-tab asphalt shingles were removed and then new architectural shingles were installed after the decking was inspected and the felt paper had been installed.

Well, no doubt you have had your fill of the snow and ice this winter. The Memphis and Nashville areas have had several good doses of the wintery mix. Forecasters say more snow and ice may be in store soon.

One commonly overlooked aspect of snowy weather is ice dams. Ice dams occur on sloping roofs which get laden with snow. The snow will begin the melting process but not come to completion before the temperature falls again and the water freezes in place on the roof. This causes the ice to accumulate on the roof slope forming a dam. The bigger problem occurs as new snow melt occurs and the ice prevents the normal shedding of water off the roof.

Shingles are great at shedding water under normal circumstances. The nature of shingles being installed in a bottom to top of the slope in an overlapping fashion, allows for water to roll right down the slope; it’s like water off a duck’s back, literally. Let one of these ice dams set up on your roof and then the water can be allowed to backup and flow under the shingle edge and potentially flow over the wood roof decking and create a place of intrusion into your home’s interior.

Quinta Contractors, LLC currently uses Ice and Water Shield in all roof valleys and around trouble areas such as a chimney. Additionally, we install 15# felt underlayment over all roof decking before we install the first shingle of a replacement roof. There are several other options for preventing the damage caused by ice dams, but typically our region of the country does not have issues with prolonged and heavy snow loads on roofs and most roofs in the Memphis and Nashville areas have a sufficient roof pitch (or roof slope) to avoid this excess build up of ice.

Whether you do experience suspected damage caused by an ice dam this winter or storm damage to your roof, call Quinta. Your roof is one of the most important components protecting you and your home from the outside elements.

Kim was preparing to place her home in Franklin, TN on the market and knew it was just time for the roof to be replaced. Her shingles had been installed some 25 years ago or so and showed real signs of aging and deterioration. No doubt that a newly installed roof would inspire a perspective buyer for her home.

The 25 year old architectural shingles had aged to the point that it was time to replace the roof.

The new shingles were delivered and one of Quinta’s fine crews began the work of removing the existing single layer of shingles. Once the roof decking had been inspected, it was determined that two sheets worth of plywood decking would be needed to bring the decking up to snuff. Decking which has become rotten due to roof leaks must be replaced in order for the nails in the new shingles to hold the shingle in place.

Felt paper has been applied to decking and shingles have been placed on the roof for the new install.

The new architectural shingles are backed by a manufacture’s limited life time warranty! This new roof will have a long life span to offer the new owner of this home. Kim chose a color of the roofing which complements the mostly brick exterior of her house.

James passed one of our vehicles sporting the new Quinta logo and contacted Quinta for a replacement roof. Upon inspection we discovered damages which eventually lead to James filing an insurance claim and receiving a new roof. His roof was about 15 years old and was brittle, making repairs difficult if not impossible.

BEFORE: Damaged Masonite siding

James selected an architectural shingle which complimented his brick home nicely. James’ home needed more attention than just a roof, however. He purchased the home with the existing siding which was very poorly installed and actually allowed for water to be trapped and grossly accelerated the rotting of his wood cornice work. The gutters which were supposed to collect the rain water were leaking in multiple areas as the galvanized metal was riddled with rusty holes.

Vinyl Siding Installed After Wood Repairs Were Made

One phone call from a sign on the truck and it was Quinta to the rescue! Not only, did we help James navigate through his insurance claim, we also provided quality customer service throughout the process. Quinta Contractors removed the existing 3 tab shingles and replaced them with the new dimensional shingles (now with a Limited Lifetime Warranty). We then removed the damaged siding paying close attention to make all the necessary wood repairs before install his new new vinyl siding, followed by the new seamless aluminum gutter system.

So, Janet and Euan had a modern kitchen in their home and felt it simply needed a face-lift. All the doors and drawers in the cabinetry were in great condition, but the counter tops looked dated and showed various signs of wear. Wallpaper had been applied to the walls and the area above the counter tops. Quinta Contractors, LLC came to the rescue to bring a fresh look to this Memphis area home.

Janet’s kitchen remodel had two other areas of concern from a design perspective. Lighting was a real issue and was limited to one overhead fluorescent light fixture. The second issue was the color scheme. The Formica counter tops were bland and almost matched the color of the ceramic floor tile. This Cordova, TN couple had a budget which allowed for the purchase and install of granite counter tops. What the desired was the feel of a complete renewal to the kitchen.

Quinta Contractors was contracted to remove the existing counter tops, the wallpaper, supply and install the new granite counter tops and tile back-splash, and change the lighting. Bryan met Janet and Euan at the granite supplier in order to help them select just the right slab. The color and movement (of the natural pattern) were paramount in choosing the right granite slabs.

New Lighting Changes

Lighting changes included pendant lighting installed above the peninsula, under cabinet lighting, and additional can lights for the ceiling. The homeowners would now have options in how to light the kitchen to match the activity level. The trim and cord of the drop lights coordinated with the dark deco tiles installed in the tile back-splash and the amber tinted glass provided a warm glow.

The walls received a fresh coat of paint to give the room a real pop of color. These seemingly minor changes proved to dramatically transform the kitchen. Janet and Euan now had a warm and inviting kitchen to enhance their home.
